Hey, Arthur!
After a couple of weeks of milling about, the world of academia strikes again - it is results day. And you will be happy to know that Gwen surpassed her expected results and will be starting Avalon this autumn! She is ecstatic, obviously. It's good to have her back and available for excessive hugging! And I really am super excited for her. I didn't get the exact results I wanted, but I think I'm going to keep my place - it all depends on some grants I've applied for, I think they technically required me to reach higher than I did. But if it goes through and I can afford it, I'll be going down there too! We are going to have so much fun. It's a real relief to know that Gwen got what she needed, I mean, not that there were ever any doubts, but still. It was sad to see her worry and she deserves all the best.
It'll be nice to study with likeminded people, and to make new friends. I feel like I've gotten some practice in that field. I'll scout out the area for you for when you wake up to apply for yourself!
I did talk to the rest of the gang as well - Gwaine is heading for Central Albion, and he outlined his plans to, in his words, "rescue their football team from the jaws of failure." I'll keep you updated on that adventure as well, of course. Leon got the grades needed to get into Nemeton, so I suppose he'll be a massively successful business man in a few years' time. Percival is going to University of Mercia, and so is Elena, so not all of the gang is split up! It feels odd being the only one whose future is uncertain, but I'm still joining the lot for drinks at The Sun tonight.
What with having to be frugal and all, it really is fortunate that I'm such a lightweight.
M.
